Is it still your birthday, creep? If so, happy birthday! Can you get a third party to point out the mess and say how not cleaning it up cancels out the gift?

Thanks! (It was Monday)

I just rinsed everything out that night and cleaned it the next day. The dynamic in the house is pretty much me cleaning everything and my husband doing big things like mowing the yard and scooping the cat box and our roommate doing nothing, so it was nothing new. It would've been nice if my birthday treat hadn't come with the mess, but the rest of the day was rad! So no other complaints, really.

About three months ago I got a raise, and the reaction of the people I told was really surprising in a bad way. Like not even genuine happiness for me, but kind of either a "oh great...I wish I got a raise" or "cool" and then change of subject.

So now I'm not telling anyone else but the ppk that I just got another one. And I hope I never turn into one of those people that can't feel happiness for other people without making it about me and what I don't like about my life - even if there is a lot. So, in short, even though I just got a raise, I'm already pissed off at everyone.

This sucks! Maybe they're just having a hard time? Like, I've been looking for work for months, and if someone told me they'd just gotten a raise, I'd probably just say "cool" and move on, because dwelling on it much longer than that probably would make me start thinking about my own situation.

Well I'm happy for you Fee! Good job!

I had an awesome day, morning with K and afternoon with Andreas. I made K scrambled tofu and banana flapjacks for brunch and he liked it all, and last night we made the lentils cauliflower curry. Lots of snuggles and cuddles and fun times. Today the sun was shining and it was really warm and Andreas and I went for a walk in the park, we stopped at the beach on the river to lay* down and enjoy the sun, and then went to the Biergarten and had a beer. Afternoon snuggles and good sex, and now I'm on my couch and just ate the leftover flapjack. Life is really great! I love bank holidays in the middle of the week.

*I had to work the sentence around to be able to use "lay" in its infinite form because I could not remember the past form. Gaa!

Thanks, guys! You're all great people. Or at least you make me feel good about feeling good about myself.

Or maybe they're just crassholes.

Oh I totally wouldn't like...brag about getting a raise to someone that was jobless or something. It was like one colleague and my friend-boy who had totally not-at-all happy for me reactions and the reason I guess it stung was that they were two people who had been telling me to ask for a raise! And then I got it! And they were all...oh.

The vet hospital left a message saying my dog's ashes are finally ready to be picked up. The past couple of weeks, I've been really impatient and wanting her ashes back, but when I listened to the message it still made me cry. It just feels so final.

My a cappella friends and I are going out to karaoke tonight. It was my idea and I organized it and I know it's going to be super fun, but I'm just in such an introverted mood today. And the vegan options at our karaoke place kinda suck, so I either need to eat something now or be prepared to pay out the asparagus for sad salad and french fries...but I'm not that hungry right now. But I promised I would get there early to stake out good tables, so I'm kind of obligated to eat or drink something. Oh well. I know it's going to be really fun! I just have to, you know, get up, find my pants, and get going. Okay. Here I go.
